Amazing Shows to Visit around Syracuse

Here are two completely wonderful shows to take yourself and anybody else you can!

#1 Pepper Market is happening this Saturday, December 8th from 10am to 5pm. From the founders of the fabulous Salt Market, this new HOTHOT show features 30 creative artists and designers offering all items priced at $30 or under! At these prices, with the exceptional quality of work that will be there, you are sure to find many brilliant gifts for holiday giving to others or to yourself. Some of the items that will be there include handbound books, letterpressed cards, screenprinted posters, a book vending machine, a plethora of t-shirts, super live music and so much more.

#2 Pulled, Pressed and Screened: Important American Prints is an outstanding, not to be missed exhibition at SU Art Galleries on view until January 6th. These prints cover a wide breadth of techniques ranging from experimental to more traditional, encompassing a multitude of differing artistic visions. Tracing the beginnings of printmaking as an expressive medium rather than simply illustrative, each piece stamps the mark of the artist telling his or her story with their particular medium in their particular time. This staggering travel through time in American printmaking displays forceful works in etching, lithography, screenprinting, embossing, cardboard cutouts, various combinations and et cetera. Highly recommended! Find more info at http://suart.syr.edu
